WHAT CYRAMZA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cyramza is a cancer medicine that contains the active substance
ramucirumab, which is a monoclonal
antibody. This is a specialised protein that can recognise and attach
to another protein found on blood
vessels called ‘VEGF receptor 2’. This receptor is needed in the
development of new blood vessels. To
grow, cancer needs new blood vessels to develop. By attaching to
‘VEGF receptor 2’ and blocking it
the medicine cuts off the blood supply to the cancer cells.
Cyramza is given in combination with paclitaxel, another anti-cancer
medicine, for the treatment of
advanced stomach cancer (or cancer of the junction between the
oesophagus and the stomach) in
adults whose disease has worsened after treatment with medicines to
treat cancer.
Cyramza is used for the treatment of advanced stomach cancer (or
cancer of the junction between the
oesophagus and the stomach) in adults whose disease has worsened after
treatment with medicines to
treat cancer and for whom treatment of Cyramza in combination with
paclitaxel is not suitable.
Cyramza is used to treat advanced cancers of the colon or rectum
(parts of the large intestine) in
adults. It is given with other medicines called ‘FOLFIRI
chemotherapy’, including ‘5-fluorouracil’,
‘folinic acid
